A Chinese Hospital.

In one of the most crowded thor
oughfares of the Chinese quarter of
Shanghai, there has stood for forty
years a free native hospital, mainly
supported by the European commu-
nifty. Very strange its wards look at
first to English visitors. The patients
bring their own bedding, consisting of
a bamboo mat and wadded quilt.
Those who can move about are the
only regular attendants of those who
can not. The house surgeon and dis
penser is a Christian Chinaman, for
thirty years connected with the hos
pital, and one of the first converts of
a mission school. Yearly about 800
patients pass through the wards, and
the proportion of deaths is small.
Last year there were fifty-six, and
in the dispensary more than 10000
cases were treated. From very long
distances many of the poor, suffering
creatures come land back to their far-off
homes many a healed one has carried
a blessing greater than bodily healing,
for we believe that nowhere, at home
or abroad. could better proof be found
than in the Shanghai Hospital, of the
benefit of combining medical and Cos
pei work. Daily the waiting room,
seated for three hundred, is crowded
with men, women and children long
before the dispensing hour, and daily
an English missionary, as conversant
with their language as his own, sets
before this waiting multitude the
Word of Life. 81 believe" writes a
Christian physician, who for some
years had the oversight of this work,
that the Chinese undergo more suf-
fering for want Of medical knowledge
than any other nation in the world.
In an institution like this, almost
daily under a good surgeon may the
blind receive sight, the deaf hear, the
lame walk. l have known in one
year among those cured in our hospi-
tai thirty men and women received
into the Christian Church. "-[Quiver.
